We as a generation are far more alike than many people would like to imagine. There are individuals that strive to be "different", individuals that will claim "originality", and even the radicals who will do anything to prove their disconnection from the culture. However, despite their efforts to not be main stream we as a generation have one thing in common and that is we are all chasing our own "Golden Snitch".
For all those who are not Harry Potter fans the "Golden Snitch" is the smallest and most illusive object in play during a Quidditch match. This "Snitch" is the most prized possession in the entire game because if caught by the "Seeker" the match immediately ends and counts as win for the team who obtained it.
Our lives are no different than that of a Quidditch match. What is your "Golden Snitch"? Money? A Girl? Big house, alot of cars? What is it that you are relentlessly pursuing that you believe will give you "true" happiness?
We so often fall into the trap that if we finally got what we were pursuing we would be happy but how many times has that worked out? Today forget about your pursuits of things that will pass away, things that are trivial and momentary; and begin to set your sights on the one true source of happiness!Christ came to give us all life and life abundantly(John 10:10), fix your eyes on the one who promises to satisfy(John 6:35).
